I allocate my concentration to something else rather than the job at hand :) what better place for privacy and to read a book why waste time staring at the wall or with your head in your hands lol

tomcatwarne: I do, I think this must be one of the stupidest posts I have seen anywhere.
But they know.... have you ever tried to explain yourself out of it when the caller takes it personally javascript:emot(''); javascript:emot(''); or the boss calls javascript:emot('');

Aswina: ... when I was workoholic in the past.... I have to admit- I did! These days after arranging my priorities... no way!
Guilty I am, usually mobile is in my work pants pocket if I am home and still in work gear, but no not if home and relaxing. Like my privacy u know read a book or magazine on the loo too much imformation
Actually no, but if its someone i dont want to talk to (Telemarketers) i make all the sounds of a person trying to pinch a loaf and having great difficulty.
I even go to the extent of asking them to hang on and then hold the phone a few inches away from my face and then proceed with the most theatrical constipation noises i can think of, i.e. "Nnnngggggghhhh!!!""Coooommmmmeee Oooooonnnnn" and my fav, "Oh Geeze, i wish i hadnt eaten that!"
At that point, (Faking the sound of someone who is out of breath or doing Lamaze breathing techniques) i say to them, "Listen, this may take a while, if you want to leave me your number, i'll call you back as soon as im done"
The really persistent ones say "What time would it be more convenient to call you back?" to which i reply "Well, at the rate things are going here i may burst something and end up in hospital"
Usually that does it and i never hear from them again..
